From ANN:
The story is set in a family restaurant named Wagnaria in the northern Japanese prefecture of Hokkaido. Sōta works part-time among the restaurant’s high-spirited, mysterious, yet cool staffers.

From MangaUpdates:
Takahashi gets a job at a family restaurant... nothing remotely funny ensues.

Really, I'm not sure either is a great synopsis of the series. Again, based on the covers alone, I might give this series a try.

The official website underwent an upgrade to its final form, revealing that this is also among the Spring '010 lineup. Also, after checking out the source material a little bit (only to forget it in about five months), Kana Asumi is a nice fit for Popura.

Well I had always wanted a second season of "sketchbook full color's" but looking at the staff this looks like a "spiritual" sequel of sorts since most of the staff are back.Hopefully the music will be written by Ken Muramatsu.

Obviously the other characters beyond Popura and Souta have voices, but it doesn't list who they are. I'll need to train my ears a bit. I do love the BGM they went with for this promo. It's danceable, and sort of reminds me of "Scramble".

You know how, in every high school anime, at least one of the characters ends up with a job at a family restaurant? Well, this appears to be that restaurant, where they all work. I'm really looking forward to watching this one (but I think I'll avoid dinner there )

It would be rather humorous if each episode had a cameo part-time worker from another series...

Edit: It turns out that "SOMEONE ELSE" has been the BGM in the trailers thus far. I may have found one of my favorite OPs for this year, though there's still the entire rest of the spring season to take into account.
